I've only listened to it one time so far and I'm not impressed. After the first listen I think it's actually horrible and I can't believe everyone is loving it. I'll give it another go because I bought the damn thing and hopefully it will grow on me.

I'm kind of with you. I haven't given it enough listens to really be sure, but I don't think this will top the other two. I really like his cover of In Bloom though. To me, it's like Nirvana meets Pet Sounds. It just has that wall of sound thing going for it. I dig it.

I didn't like it the first listen because I had expectations of a sound similar to Metamodern. It's so different I had to remove my expectations and really listen to it. I then fell in love with it.

Wasn't sure of it at first either. It seriously grows on you. I was thinking oh this is good at first, but it's not Metamodern. Now I've listened to the whole thing around 15-25 times and I think it's easily the best album put out this year
